Here is our care advice:

SHOE TREES
You can place shoe trees (preferably wooden ones) inside your trainers in the evening to relax and reshape your pair, which will help extend both their lifespan and comfort.

PROTECTOR SPRAY
Our sneakers are already waterproofed. You can apply an extra layer of protector spray on suede areas, particularly for wet weather.

Please note:
1. Do not apply alcohol-based protector spray on logos and branding: alcohol is very likely to rub them off.
2. Check the colour of your protector spray by testing it on a small area of the shoe first: it must be colourless to avoid staining your pair.

CLEANING
Surface stains can easily be wiped away using a lightly damp sponge. The same goes for soles, scrubbing firmly. The laces are machine washable. To make life easier, you can use our sneaker cleaning shampoo, available here.

Please note:
CAVAL trainers are not machine washable: leather and bio-based materials do not react well to washing machines.
